Ordinary People Lyrics - Steve Harley

People, we're ordinary people 

We're taken for granted 

No one hears what we say 

Just people, ordinary people 

Stand up and be counted 

In every way 

If we have a little faith 

Believe, there's a future 

For us people, we ordinary people 

It's time to remember 

We all need some respect 

Have we forgotten who we are? 

And what we're doing here? 

You know a change is gonna come 

If we persevere 

We need strength in our hearts 

We need wisdom and light 

So if it's ever gonna work 

Let it be tonight 

We're people, ordinary people 

And it's hard to imagine 

How we've fallen so far 

Just people, ordinary people 

And if we stand together 

We won't fall at all 

So it's up to us 

Be there for one another 

That's why people, ordinary people 

It's time to remember 

We all need some respect 

Have we forgotten who we are? 

And what we're doing here? 

You know a change is gonna come 

If we persevere 

We need strength in our hearts 

We need wisdom and light 

So if it's ever gonna work 

Let it be tonight 

And when we think we've made some peace in our time 

When we know we've taken time for reflection 

When we see the cards are dealt true and kind 

We'll know we're not so blind, 

We'll know we're not so blind 

We're just ordinary, ordinary 

People, ordinary people 

People, ordinary people 

People, ordinary people 

People, ordinary people 

Let it be tonight 

Let it be tonight
